Do Not Disturb turns off as soon as it turns on

On Black Friday I upgraded from the S8 to the Note 10+.  Ever since then, Do Not Disturb will turn itself off immediately after turning on.  It does this whether turned on manually or by schedule.    I had my Gear 3 watch synced with my phone and it was turning DND off on my watch as well.  I turned off the sync and DND on my watch works fine.    I reset my settings right after this first started, and DND worked great for that night, but then went back to immediately shutting off as soon as it turns on.  I downloaded a software upgrade a few days ago.  DND worked fine that night also, but then went right back to turning itself off.  How do I get DND to works again?

I'm sorry to learn that your phone's DND feature works fine temporarily and then turns itself off, Agios11. The fact that it worked fine for a day after a software update is indicative that something is impacting the DND feature after a few hours of your phone being used.

 

This behavior indicates that something is being used or enabled after a few hours and that makes the DND feature to turn off. We need to isolate this issue further, let's disable all the third-party applications and test. Please restart your phone in Safe Mode as per this link (https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-227300/) and test the DND feature for a few hours. Let us know if the issue continues while the phone is in Safe Mode.

I did not leave my phone in safe mode for a hours as I need it.  However, DND was working in safe mode.  It did not immediately turn itself off as it normally does.  It stayed on for several minutes.  How do I figure out which third party app is affecting it?  I have all the same apps on my new phone as I did on my old phone.l

I figured out the problem.  It was the On My Way app.  It turns on DND when driving.   I disabled the permission for that app to access DND and DND appers to be working now.
